Tall skinny windows and lots of them-Any ideas for window coverings? -

I m remodeling a 30X22 foot room. It s a kitchen and living room all in one, but not my main living room and no TV. The challenge with this room is the windows. There are 7 windows plus french doors. 4 of these windows are 6 feet tall and only 2 feet wide. They all currently have 2quot; wood slat blinds. I think I want to dress up the windows, but don t know what to do with the skinny windows. I m not crazy about valances in general. My style is casual contemporary leaning toward traditional, but the kitchen is going to be ultra-modern with a 9X7 foot island. What can a person do with this many windows PLUS having these narrow windows?

Roman shades are simple to make and can have a very clean, contemporary look. They can be customized to your windows very easily. Mount them on the inside of the framing (which is probably how your slats are mounted anyway) for the neatest look. These can be made with interesting fabrics and matching ones could be made for the french doors to give the whole area a uniform, streamlined look.

tall skinny drapes?

my mom had some off size windows in her house and the problem she faced was that any kind of covering blocked most of the light. she had been learning stained glass art for a while and decided to make some fittings for her windows. they were beautiful and with all the colors she used the light coming in became part of the theme of the room. wish you well, lily
